      <image:title>Speaking - CORPORATE SETTINGS</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Parasite of Corporate Culture: How pathological narcissism sucks your company dry of productivity and profits. In corporate culture, to survive a shark, you either have become one yourself or get chewed to pieces. Both options damage the entire ecosystem. To maintain a healthy ecosystem within your organization, you need to ensure two things: Pathological Narcissism is not welcome, and Narcissistic Abuse is not tolerated Even organizations with the foresight to establish healthy ecosystems have hidden gems trapped under the rubble of their own emotional wounds, either from their current relationships or ones that scarred them from childhood. The knowledge I will share with your company will: Break them free of their insecurities, and Empower them to become optimal performers</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Narcissism on Set: How pathological narcissism hinders the efficiency of productions Once we understand the concept of “narcissist supply” and how starved pathological narcissists are for external affirmation, it’s not hard to determine how the resulting parasite of productivity finds its way on set. With acknowledgment, understanding, acceptance, and some boundary setting, your team can learn to navigate with more ease and skill in a narcissist-infested industry.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vilifying of Narcissists and other scare tactics are commonly used to shake people out of narcissistically abusive relationships, but fear &amp; anger only get in the way of growth &amp; healing! Awareness of narcissism and narcissistic abuse have made their way into popular culture, which is a good thing! BUT with so many misconceptions perpetuated by even well-meaning individuals, it’s hard to separate truth from fiction. The truth delivered in Alena’s message teaches you fundamental aspects that are essential to understanding, surviving, and healing from pathological narcissism and narcissistic abuse.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Lurking in Shallow Water: How to spot pathological narcissism in the legal system The most challenging divorce cases you’ve faced have probably been influenced by pathological narcissism from one party or the other. Often it takes months to be able to sort out the truth of the relationship dynamic, and many times, without witnessing the abuse firsthand, you can unwittingly fall prey yourself to the manipulation of a pathological narcissist. Learn to spot the telltale signs of narcissistic abuse and equip yourself with the knowledge of how to navigate interactions with a narcissist in the legal system and beyond.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Speaking - FOR EDUCATORS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Teaching Children Stealth Tactics: Educating children who are raised by narcissists For children living in family systems defined by pathological narcissism, rarely do those kiddos show up in the educational space ready to learn. Perhaps you’re working with a parent who has clued you in to the situation at home, or perhaps you’ve clocked the narcissistic traits of both parents, and you’re wondering what difference you can make. While you may feel helpless to enact change that counteracts the influence of narcissism, there are tactics you can teach them that will serve them well for years to come.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Are you sure that's what they said?" &amp; Other questions that will undermine your progress with narcissistic abuse victims The curriculum in a Master’s program is vast, and rarely does it fully prepare new therapists for all the challenges they will face in the field. But we can give them a head start with some of the most complicated patients and heartbreaking situations they may come across in their early positions in child welfare, substance abuse treatment, domestic abuse shelters, community mental health, etc. This talk is intended to help prepare future educators &amp; mental health providers who will be working on the front lines with narcissistic abuse victims.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Narcissistic Abuse - The climate of our world today has demonstrated that no one is immune to the impact of pathological narcissism.</image:title>
      <image:caption>However, no one seems to be shouting from the rooftops that it is the root of so much of the conflict. Let’s shift the public’s perception of antagonistic behaviors so that everyone can begin to stand up and say “No” to narcissists and “Yes” to themselves.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Narcissistic Abuse - Understanding Narcissism</image:title>
      <image:caption>Narcissism is actually present in all of us. It can be simply defined as a focus on self. We experience it on a spectrum, with a healthy level of narcissism on one end and an unhealthy, pathological, and destructive level on the other end. Since we’re all self-focused to a certain extent, we all fall somewhere on the spectrum of narcissism. Some do not focus on themselves at all, while others are self-focused to a pathological level that interferes with their daily life and interpersonal relationships - these are Narcissists.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Narcissistic Abuse - Managing life with a narcissist is similar to standing in the shorebreak at the beach. Sometimes the water is calm with no surf at all. Other times, you getting pummeled by crashing waves and feel lucky to keep your head above water.</image:title>

      <image:title>Narcissistic Abuse - Understanding Pathological Narcissism</image:title>
      <image:caption>To put it simply, the root cause of pathological narcissism starts when deep insecurity and fragile self-esteem lead to the avoidance of shame, or feeling like one isn’t good enough. To cope, a person creates a false self-image and does their best to maintain that image, for themselves and for others. If this is combined with a deficient level of empathy development, then as an adult, they are unable to identify when their attempts to maintain the false self-image will lead to behaviors that take advantage of or harm another person.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Words have power, and there is something especially gratifying about having an idea in your head and being able to communicate it in a way that speaks to others. Through my book, Swimming with Sharks: Surviving Narcissist-Infested Waters, and other writings, I have taken in-the-moment inspiration and turned it into analogies and relatable stories that impact and move people to make meaningful change in their lives.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Inspiration - Let Inspiration Lead</image:title>
      <image:caption>From spending each morning in spiritual meditation to cultivating loving relationships with the people in my personal and professional life, I feel inspired every day. It comes from a myriad of sources, like the trust my patients offer me to help guide them in a healing direction, the caring therapy that my Coastal Light team provides, the joyful presence of my family, the unconditional love I feel from Kyah, my German Shepherd, and the meaningful friendships I have found.</image:caption>
